Late at night in summer heat
Expensive car in an empty street
There's a wire in my jacket
For this is my trade
It only takes a moment
Don't be afraid
I can hotwire an ignition
Like some kind of star
I'm just a poor boy
In a rich man's car
Et le moteur s'allume enfin
And the engine finally ignites
Nos vies s'enlacent
Our lives intertwine
And we drive into the night
Oh le cuir doux s'en mêle
Oh the soft leather joins in
Affole ton imagination
It drives your imagination wild
Je te vois déjà
I can see you already
Dans une autre situation
In another situation
Tu es company director
You are a company director
Une vie de famille
A family life
J'ai ce feeling qu'il y a
I have this feeling that there is
Bien plus de choses à dire
So much more to say
There's some kind of complication
Il lui dit he's alone
He tells her he's alone
Spends the night with his lover
Il y a des traces of her Cologne
There are traces of her Cologne
Tous les mots de sa maîtresse
All the words from his mistress
À l'oreille et sans détour
Whispered softly and straight to the point
Comme une chanson d'amour
Like a love song
Please take me dancing tonight
I've been all on my own
Les promesses d'un jour, d'un soir
The promises of a day, of an evening
Je les entends comme un psaume
I hear them like a psalm
I'm just a prisoner of love
Prisonnière de mes failles
Prisoner of my flaws
Take me dancing
Please take me dancing tonight
Please take me dancing tonight
Please take me dancing tonight
Imagine ta femme
Imagine your wife
Sa vie glisse entre ses doigts
Her life slips through her fingers
Il y a une règle
There is a rule
Être chasseur ou bien la proie
To be the hunter or be the prey
Il lui dira je rentre tard
He'll tell her I'm coming home late
Ses affaires, partira
His things will disappear
But there's more than a suspicion
In this lingering cologne
Et les enfants feront la tête
And the children will sulk
As she runs a traffic light
And she drives into the night
Please take me dancing tonight
I've been all on my own
J'ai été tout seul.
Les promesses d'un jour, d'un soir
The promises of a day, of an evening
Je les entends comme un psaume
I hear them like a psalm
I'm just a prisoner of love
Je ne suis qu'un prisonnier de l'amour
Prisonnière de mes failles
Prisoner of my flaws
Take me dancing
Emmène-moi danser
Please take me dancing tonight
S'il te plaît, emmène-moi danser ce soir
Please take me dancing tonight
S'il te plaît, emporte-moi danser ce soir
Please take me dancing tonight
S'il te plaît, emmène-moi danser ce soir
